...I've finally returned to Earth after dropping off its face.

I extend my apologies to everyone for my longer than expected absence. School basically took control of everything - but I'll spare you the teenage angst-fest. Let's just say I didn't have time for friends and family, let alone cyberspace extravaganzas. Oh, and a word to the wise: the new SAT's SUCK.

Anyway, I'm going to try and get back into the swing of things for this week, which includes catching up on and commenting on your works. The only catch is that on June 26th I'm leaving for a good six weeks to attend an art school, which means no computer nor television (I'll use this time to let out a heartfelt 'DAMN IT!'). Upon my return, which will be sometime in August, I'll resume my commenting on your stuff.

As for my fic...'Flapping in the Nightmares,' to those who still care *sarcastic chuckle*...I highly doubt that I'll continue it. I believe that it's safe to say that I'm done with the whole fan realm deal. Now wait a minute - put down those rusty daggers - I'm just referring to me personally. I still enjoy looking at all of your awesome fan-related pieces. For me, however, I've simply moved on. But I'll always be a diehard DWD fan, heh heh.

If (in the unlikely event that) anyone seriously wishes to know what would have happened in 'Nightmares,' I guess you could just let me know and I'll give you a summary. I've still got the whole thing planned out in my head, oddly enough. Both my email and my screenname have changed, so don't mistakenly refer to the old ones and get pissed off when I don't respond in over a week. Oh, I also plan on trying my hand at original fiction, so acquire any necessary protective gear beforehand. You have been justly warned.

So, to one and all - the living, the dead, and possibly the undead - I thank you for your patience. Enjoy your summers folks.
